But who is impressive?

Like the Premier League is a weird, weird, weird league.

Like there were players who came on for Arsenal last week against Newcastle and played 30 minutes and then collapsed on the pitch exhausted afterwards.

I'm not sure we fully appreciate the kind of physical drain the players are on, particularly at this stage of the season when they've been playing three games in a week and coming in injured.

And, you know, like Thomas Tuchel saying about Declan Rice, he's only at 70 percent.

And then you can see he's playing three games in a week.

I have it in my head that the World Cup is going to be sort of won by the country, well, the elite country that has players that aren't sort of banging it out for Arsenal and Manchester City sort of three times a week, 90 minutes at a go.

Because it's very hard to pin down any team.

Like City won their last game 1-0 against Burnley.

Everybody is in a situation where it's hard to...

It's hard to look impressive.

I heard some people using this kind of lack of success in Middlesbrough or whatever against him, but it's not... It started well.

It did well initially.

But it's like... That's like saying Vincent Kompany shouldn't... Like, Vincent Kompany's had huge success now as he may well do the double with Bayern Munich after going down with Burnley.

Like, what...

So it's not exactly the same, you know, managers fit in to particular challenges at a particular time.

There are people in Real Madrid at the moment who sound like they're going to reappoint Jose Mourinho, which is maybe the maddest story of the day.

But maybe that's the scale of club that he needs or the style of club that he needs to be the old Jose Mourinho again.

But then, you know, he should have been a great fit at Arsenal and he wasn't.

Yeah.
